Paleo Dinner- Mexican Meatball Soup

A dear friend gave me a new cookbook for my birthday. It's Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso. It's a great collection of paleo recipes. Sometimes when you think of cutting certain foods out of your diet/meal planning you're left with a sense of "What's left for me to eat?" It can be like hitting a wall in food preparation. Following a paleo food plan isn't hard, just different. It takes preparation, planning and regular shopping trips for fresh vegetables and meats.

My sweet friend and I at Disneyland last year on my birthday

This week we made a soup inspired by Sarah Fragoso's Albondigas Soup found on page 160 of her book. I made a few changes based on what I thought our kids would like and what I had on hand.

Using your hands, form the meat into small meatballs and gently drop into the boiling soup. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, but be careful not to break up the meatballs.
